• There could possibly be restrictions to certain factions, though this is currently not the case.

There is currently no limit on how long you may stay in DEMO mode. To activate your account fully, you must subscribe.

Suscribers will be able to gain rank and prestige as calculated by all your player profile stats. A player with a demo account will only gain stats and badges, but won't advance in rank. As you advance in rank you will be able to select from a larger number of bigger and more powerful ships.

The MetaVerse is a persistent online universe. It consists of different game servers (and thus, star systems) linked together via Jump Gates (though you can fly between stars manually as well - Jump Gates are not required). The state of the servers is stored in a database so that they remain always online and persistent. Thus, planets captured by a fleet or player remain controlled by that faction until another faction attempts to capture it. The MetaVerse is generally considered more challenging due to the heavy defensive buildup on all the planets, as well as the advanced modifications on nearly all ships. It can also play slower, as planets are more fortified than in the scenario servers.

PaleStar runs the only official MetaVerse, player servers with Ladder enabled are not allowed. If you would like to run your own MetaVerse you can. The ladder option, when enabled, means that players can advance in rank and prestige on the server.

A primarily First Person Perspective SpaceShip based game, this has persistent assets and resource collection, as wella s building and many other RTS elements. Certain to be tested by us, this game looks like a successful blend of the two game genres.
